The one with the awkward rambling

I am, generally, averse to introductions. I never know what information about myself to share, and I tend to agonize over that, since, as much as we wouldn't like them to, first impressions matter.

My name is Anagha - my parents were first generation immigrants from India to the Midwest in the U.S. of A. I'm short, and I don't know what I want to do for forever yet, and am not even sure of the wisdom of doing one thing for forever. But for now, I'm a student at MSU, and I'm pretty happy doing that.

I'm a sophomore, and I'm an International Relations major. I'm interested in feminism, international theory, poetry, books (contemporary fiction, classics, sci - fi - you name the genre, I probably read it), music, religion, etc.

I love to read about different religions, and find the similarities. I have some pretty complicated thoughts on religion that will probably eventually make it onto this blog.

As I wrote for my cast page for The Vagina Monologues: "I'm a nineteen year old with the soul of a cat lady (with an allergy to cats) who loves poetry, reading, and stacks of books that double as furniture. I also love whimsical mugs."

(I'm performing on V-day, 2012, my monologue is "My Vagina Was My Village". I could not be more excited/nervous!)

I guess that's me. I'm just a student, a dreamer, and a laugher (like Drualt).
I don't know what I want to do with myself quite yet, but I'm having a good time finding out.
I'm staunchly liberal, and think political activism is not only necessary, but a citizen's duty.
I'm a homebody, and love to play Taboo with my mom (we're pretty awesome at it).
I have some really terrific friends. I don't know what I would do without them, and I don't care to wonder.
I'm kind of a MUN nerd, and love chairing conferences.
I love Harry Potter - I have since I was six, which means I've loved those books for more than 2/3 of my lifetime.

I write for a magazine called Khloe. We're a new magazine, and you all should check us out/subscribe - we're all about empowerment, and women, and leadership, and learning that being a women can be an advantage - you just have to make it one.

Until Next Time,
Anagha
